Operation on the multiple functions:
Filter – in this position the pool water is pumped into the filter where sediment and dirt are trapped in the sand bed, allowing only clean water to return to the pool.
Waste – in this position the pool water is pumped through the multiport valve directly to the waste pipe, bypassing the filter sand bed. This position can be used when the pool has a large buildup of dirt and leaves lessening the necessity for backwashing after vacuuming. This position should only be used for short period of times as large volumes of water will be pumped down the waste line which may result in the pool water level falling below the weir level.
Closed – in this position the multiport valve is closed off and water from the pump will not pass through the filter. This position should only be used when cleaning the weir – and pump basket.
Backwash – in this position the pool water is pumped into the filter, dirt and collectable particles in the sand bed are dislodged and washed down the waste line. Backwash the pool for approximately 3 to 5 minutes or until the water becomes visible and clear in the sight glass on the side of the multiport valve.
Bypass – in this position water from the pump will bypass the filter sand bed. This position can be used when using pool chemicals as instructed.
Rinse – in this position the pool water is pumped through the filter down the waste pipe. This is used immediately after backwashing to rinse and settle the sand before switching on the filter position. Rinse the pool for approximately 3 minutes after each backwash.
Remember to fill up the pool with fresh water after backwash- and rinsing to re-establish the original water level.
NOTE: Do not operate the pump with the valve in the closed position or when turning to a position on the valve
